In Never Let Me Go the characters are new and the relationships are unique to the movie. Although the idea for the movies seems identical I did not feel like I was watching a copy of another movie. Never Let Me Go is purely it’s own masterpiece.
I felt like the plot of the movie got a little lost and could have been better, however the acting was above average. It was a little long and drawn out, however the overall message was inspiring. The movie was beautifully shot and the scenery was magnificent. Overall the movie was very depressing. If you are looking for a feel good love story or a lighthearted drama I do not recommend choosing this movie. However, if you are in the mood for an above average heart wrenching tragedy I would recommend watching this film.
